Two more illustrations
are available this week!
This week's additional illustration
graphically portrays the Bible verse Romans 5:12. Click here to see an
animation of coming illustrations
that build on the 'Sin and Genesis' illustration.
Romans 5:12: 'Wherefore as by one man sin entered the world and death
by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.'
This illustration
is one of eight that can be used to teach various applications associated
with illustration #8. This illustration reveals the origin of sin in Genesis
1-11.
The meaning of sin is dependent upon its origin. Because there was a literal
man in history (Adam) who was in a literal garden, who took literal fruit
from a literal tree, was given the literal fruit by a literal woman who
was tempted by a literal serpent, there was a literal rebellion.
The meaning of sin is rebellion against God and His Word. Romans 5:12
in the New Testament teaches very clearly that 'original sin' is the result
of the actions of one man, Adam. Of course, Paul goes on to teach that
all humans sin like Adam because we in Adam have rebelled. If you don't
believe in the literal history of Genesis 1-11, then there is no basis
for determining the meaning of sin. Sin could then be interpreted any
way you want. The only reason we know that sin is rebellion against the
absolute authority of the Word of God is because of the literal rebellion
in Genesis 1-11. The doctrine of sin is dependent upon the foundational
Book of Beginnings being true-being literal history.
